Here is my shot of the Annular Eclipse in Tropic, Utah.

I tried posting it on Saturday, but I couldn't get the images to upload to Imgur correctly from my cellphone while I was on the road. Better late than never.

The filter needed to photograph the sun is so dark it makes the sky look black.

I have appreciated the photos because it was too cloudy here to see any of it.

Thanks, GOG!

Perfect filter to choose for this shot. What was the exposure? Take it from a guy who had several published.

It was f/5.6, 1/100th , iso 100 and a Lee solar filter equal to a ND20. I used a crop sensor camera with a 55-250mm zoomed in and did some cropping. Never having shot a solar eclipse before, (several lunar eclipses, but never a solar), I was weary about using my newer, more expensive cameras.
